On killing a tree :(
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hongey mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet glowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A best of robin in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately loves with rain.
Poems are made by tools like me,
But only God can make a tree :)
Save tree Save Life
